An unusual retraction-correction from Britain's Chief Scientific Adviser and Reuters
#1
Published: July 19, 2021


The first appearance of the news item in question:


60% of people being admitted to UK hospitals had two COVID jabs


Some time later, there was a retraction-correction and the article title became:


60% of people being admitted to UK hospitals are unvaccinated - adviser



Britain's Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance said that 60% of people being admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are unvaccinated, correcting an earlier statement he made on Monday.

Vallance earlier said at a news conference with Prime Minister Boris Johnson that 60% of people being admitted to hospital with COVID-19 have had two doses of vaccine.

Quote:"Correcting a statistic I gave at the press conference," Vallance said on Twitter. "About 60% of hospitalisations from COVID are not from double vaccinated people, rather 60% of hospitalisations from COVID are currently from unvaccinated people."
